Muse forced MTV Europe off air last night (June 5) with their new stage show.
The band unveiled a giant UFO as part of their new set while playing at Germany's Rock AM Ring festival, however the prop was so big, it blocked the channel's signal from the event.
A member of the band's team told NME that Muse's UFO stopped MTV from broadcasting Slayer's performance live.
The band are now set to give the signal-interrupting UFO its UK debut at this year's Glastonbury festival, where Muse are headlining the Pyramid Stage on June 26.
